Current Events > Think of 20 tracks from the Final Fantasy series...

(+) Yeah! (+)

Those 20 tracks are now a concert in full orchestra in an order of your choosing.
Rules:

1. Main Series (I-XV) only
2. You must pick one track from each game, you can skip one game, and can then pick a track from a spin-off of your choice.
3. Try and limit to no more than 2 tracks from a game (we all have favorite soundtracks, it's to be fair)

FFI: Chaos Shrine
FFII: Rebel Army Theme
FFIV: Troian Beauty
FFV: Clash on the Big Bridge
FFVI: Dark World, Dancing Mad
FFVII: Cid's Theme, One Winged Angel
FFVIII: Force Your Way, The Castle
FFIX: Vivi's Theme, Grand Cross
FFX: To Zanarkand, Assault
FFX-2: Yuna's Ballad
FFXI: Ronfaure
FFXII: Final Fantasy Main Theme
FFXIII: Blinded By Light
FFXIV: Prelude - Discoveries
FFXV: Hellfire

The Order I go with is:

Prelude - Discoveries
Chaos Shrine
Troian Beauty
Vivi's Theme
Blinded By Light
Rebel Army Theme
Ronfaure
Clash on the Big Bridge
The Castle
Grand Cross

Intermission

Dancing Mad

All of the announcements about concerts for the 35th anniversary of the series had me thinking about this.

1. Meh.
2. Meh.
3 (DS). Crystal Pillar or whatever it's called.
4. Red Wings
5. Meh
6. Terra's Theme
7. Tifa's Theme
8. Ami, Blue Fields
9. Rose of May
10. To Zanarkand
10-2. Memory of Lightwaves
11. Meh
12. Main Theme, Dalmasca Estersand
13. Meh
14. Prelude
15. Somnus Ultima or whatever it's called
Type Zero. Beginning of the End
Crystal Chronicles. Shella

Meh = nothing particularly stands out to me, or I can't remember any song names

Too many limitations & too many games in the series I don't give a fuck about.

1) Into the Darkness (FF4 Dungeon Theme - GOAT)
2) Prelude (FF4 Theme that plays when Cecil and Kain leave Baron)
3) Within the Giant (FF4 Theme that plays when you enter the Giant of Babil - GOAT)
4) Kids run through the City (FF6 theme that plays in towns such as South Figaro)
5) Under the Rotting Pizza (FF7 theme that plays when you leave Aeris' house to go to Wall Market)
6) Search for the Man in the Black Cape (FF7 theme that plays in Mithril Caverns)
7) Ancient City (FF7 theme that plays in the Ancient City on the way to Aeris death to end Disc 1)
8) Searching for Friends (FF6 theme that plays when you retrieve Daryl's airship the FALCON)
9) Force Your Way (FF8 boss theme)
10) Zeromus' Theme (FF4 final boss music)
11) The Four Fiends (FF4 boss music during Fiend battles)
12) Awakening (FF6 theme for Terra, plays when the Slave Crown is removed from her in Narshe)
13) Mt. Koltz (FF6 theme that plays for Mountain dungeons - GOAT)
14) Castle Baron (FF4 theme that plays in Baron castle)
15) The Red Wings (FF4 theme that plays when you start a new quest, and plays in the Lunar Subterranean)
16) Drowned by Fireworks (FF7 theme that plays on Cloud and Aeris' Gold Saucer date)
17) Temple of the Ancients (FF7 theme that plays in the Temple of the Ancients)
18) Pandemonium - The Frozen Castle (FF9 theme that plays in Garland's dungeon)
19) Lenna's Theme (FF5 theme that plays during Lenna's introduction - GOAT)
20) King Giott (FF4 theme that plays in the Dwarf castle)

The song that plays in the opening scene of FF4.
Searching for Friends.
The Opera.
One Winged Angel
A thousand words

Uh, the rest is probably just battle themes and boss themes. I don't know FF's that well to fill out 20 songs.

This man knows what's up.

Can I just have Metamorphosis playing over and over stretching into infinity?

Metamorphosis is not even that great, bordering on annoying. I hate that part of the game when Kefka messes up Thamasa and that theme plays.

Genuinely annoying part of the game >_>

FYI - I forgot about Troian Beauty but that is legit a great one.

All of FF4 is pretty fucking great. My favorite game of all time.

FF1 - Crystal Prelude, I suppose
FF2 - Don't have one, sorry
FF3 - Towel of Babel music
FF4 - Pretty tough but probably Red Wings
FF5 - Ehhhhhhhh idk
FF6 - Opera song or Lockes theme
FF7 - Probably Aerith theme
FF8 - Eh, not sure again
FF9 - Bangers all the way down. I guess I'll choose Rose of May but You are not Alone and the Treno theme are also very high
FF10 - Zanarkand
FF11 - I see your Ronfaure and raise you a Selbina
FF12 - Ehhhhh?
FF13 - Ehhhhhhhhhhhh?
FF14 - Snowcloak or Pharos Sirius HM, or Shiva battle
FF15 lolololol idk

New user logic

FFVIII has the best soundtrack of the series and it isnt even close.

1. Man With The Machine Gun
2. Succession of Witches
3. The Ultimate
4. Force Your Way
5. Premonition
6. Maybe Im A Lion
7. Liberi Fatali

All absolute bangers.

I agree. In fact, I would listen to the entire soundtrack in concert form.

FF8 - Battle Theme x10

Don't be Afraid is a good battle theme, but I like Force Your Way even more.

FF5 - Bartz's Theme
FF6 - Terra's Theme / Overworld Theme
FF6 - Fierce Battle
FF6 - Gau's Theme

Too lazy to think up a proper order in which to play them. FF6's Dancing Mad and Ending Theme would of course go last (as if my bias wasn't already obvious)

Ah, the Final Fantasy IX battle theme.
